There are so many toxins in our make up, face treatments and just general life that is damaging our skin. As I am starting to hit my 30’s I am starting to see and feel the effects of these toxins on my skin.

This is where Gua Sha has played a role in the changing in my skin.

While some may view Gua Sha as folk medicine, western scientific studies done by Harvard University and the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany, have showed Gua Sha to show significant improvements in decreasing pain and increasing microcirculation.

Arya Nielsen, director of acupuncture in the Department of Integrative Medicine at the Beth Israel Medical Center in New York, explains on her website that by scraping the skin, minor hemorrhages from broken blood vessels appear. This creates an anti-inflammatory response stimulating the immune system to alleviate conditions in the body.

The practice of Gua Sha facial or the “Eastern Face Lift” or “Eastern Botox,” for it’s abilities to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, plump, tighten and rejuvenate skin; even decrease dark under-eye circles and puffiness.

After using my Gua Sha every night for 10-15 minutes, I have noticed my skin looking smoother and plumper. I use my Gua Sha with my current favorite face oil, Rosehip Oil. It’s really relaxing and a great natural way to combat aging. You can follow this video by Wengie using our gua sha massager to find out how to perform the facial.

My favorite skincare hack at the moment is Vitamin C. Yep, it is true those little orange vitamins our parents gave us as kids are even better for our skin. So why is this and what kind of skincare products should I be using?

Vitamin C is one of the most well-researched and beneficial vitamins you can apply topically. I learned about the benefits from my dermatologist who told me if you use it regularly it has been shown to improve the look of multiple signs of aging, brighten an uneven skin tone, as well as provide skin-restoring and soothing benefits.

Long-term topical use has been clinically shown to regenerate collagen and improve the appearance of wrinkles. Vitamin C also lightens pigmentation and brightens over all skin tone.

Amazing, where do I sign up?

I do not overly like spending a million dollar on skincare products so I found a Vitamin C powder from Skinstitut which I apply each night with Rose Hip Oil. Its about $30 and lasts 3 months. It helps with:

Protects against free radical damage

Assists with collagen production and skin firmness

Improves skin colour, radiance and tone

One of the biggest dangers to our skin is the sun and Vitamin C helps repair and rejuvenate against this damage.
